I am thinking about pulling the drip rail moulding for my window out paint job instead of just taping it.

The OE moulding kits I have found are quite expensive, but GoWesty offers an aftermarket Generic moulding for both the front door drip rail and the rain gutter. Unfortunately they don't have the corner pieces for the gutter rail in stock.

Any reports on the aftermarket gutter rail offered compared to the OE?

Thanks,
Paul

It's worked fine for me for about one year now. The corner pieces would not stay in place, I had to glue them on.

Bus Depot appears to have the rain gutter end caps $6.95 for a pair. Part reference # 251 853 710BG.

Yip, I just saw those. However, that's $6.95 Ea. $27.80 for the set.

anyone know how they match up to the aftermarket trim molding?
